Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated machine for topping and suppressing buds in flue-cured tobacco. Background Technology

[0002] Topping is a common technique in flue-cured tobacco production to promote leaf ripening and yellowing, thereby increasing yield and quality. However, while removing apical dominance, topping also leads to nutrient redistribution, promoting axillary bud growth, which is detrimental to the growth and leaf development of upper leaves, severely impacting yield and quality. Therefore, in addition to topping, timely bud removal is also necessary. If bud removal is not performed promptly, the upper leaves will suffer from insufficient nutrition, resulting in underdeveloped leaves, small size, and light weight, while the middle and lower leaves will become thinner, reducing both yield and quality.

[0003] Currently, topping and bud suppression of flue-cured tobacco are carried out in two separate steps. First, the top of the tobacco plant is cut off with a knife, and then a bud-suppressing agent is sprayed onto the topped plant. In the prior art, application publication number CN 115088495 A, entitled "A Portable Integrated Device for Topping and Bud Suppressing of Flue-cured Tobacco," discloses an integrated device including a manual sprayer with a feed pipe installed on it. One end of the feed pipe is externally fitted with a fixing pipe, and a fixing component is installed on the fixing pipe. The topping mechanism includes a fixing plate fixed to the end of the fixing pipe away from the manual sprayer, two side plates sliding on the outer wall of the fixing plate away from the fixing pipe, and a drive component mounted on the fixing pipe for driving the two side plates to move along the length of the fixing plate. This device allows for simultaneous topping and lifting of the clamps by hand to spray the bud-suppressing agent, still requiring two separate operations. Furthermore, the topping process is not isolated, leading to cross-contamination issues during the topping process. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an integrated machine for topping and suppressing buds in flue-cured tobacco. The technical solution of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The illustrated tobacco topping and bud suppression integrated machine includes a topping system 1, which is used to top the tobacco. Specifically, the topping system 1 includes a lower support 11, an upper support 12, a grooved wheel 13, a topping motor 14, and a saw blade 15. The lower support 11 is connected to the upper support 12. A reciprocating saw blade 15 is provided between the lower support 11 and the upper support 12. A transmission groove wheel 13 is connected to one side of the saw blade 15. The groove wheel 13 is connected to the output shaft of the top-hitting motor 14. The top-hitting motor 14 is connected to the lower support 11.

[0024] This application also includes a sprout inhibitor pump 2, which is used to spray a sprout inhibitor onto the topped flue-cured tobacco without specifying the type of agent. The sprout inhibitor pump 2 is provided with two chambers, which correspond to the spraying of disinfectant and sprout inhibitor, respectively. This application also includes a support frame 3, which is rod-shaped and has an electrical appliance mounting cavity inside. A controller is fixedly installed inside the cavity, and a switch 4 connected to the controller is installed at the handle; as well as a limit switch 16, a sprout inhibitor spray head 17, and a disinfectant spray head 18. This application has a disinfectant nozzle 18 installed on one side of the lower support 11, directly below the saw blade 15; a shoot inhibitor nozzle 17 installed on the upper support 12, directly above the top of the flue-cured tobacco; and a limit switch 16 installed on one side of the lower support 11, connected to the controller. The shoot inhibitor pump 2 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3 and connected to the shoot inhibitor nozzle 17 and the disinfectant nozzle 18 via a pipe. The topping system 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 3, and the shoot inhibitor pump 2, the topping system 1, and the controller are electrically connected.

[0025] In this application, the worker holds the support frame 3 and aligns the position of the top-mounting system 1 with the flue-cured tobacco, presses the switch 4, and the equipment starts to work. The top-mounting motor 14 drives the saw blade 15 to move back and forth through the grooved wheel 13 to cut the flue-cured tobacco. As the cutting proceeds, the cut part of the flue-cured tobacco moves into the lower support 11. When the flue-cured tobacco is completely cut, the upper part of the saw blade 15 falls off the top-mounting system 1, while the lower part of the saw blade 15 triggers the limit switch 16. The limit switch 16 controls the sprout inhibitor pump 2 to work through the controller, spraying the top of the cut flue-cured tobacco with sprout inhibitor. At the same time, the disinfectant nozzle 18 sprays disinfectant on the lower side of the saw blade 15. Thus, this application uses an active switch 4 to control the normal operation of the topping system 1. At the moment the topping system 1 finishes its work, the controller automatically completes the spraying of the bud suppressant and the spraying of the disinfectant. There is no need to separate the two steps of topping and spraying the bud suppressant. Instead, the next operation is automatically connected the moment one operation is completed. At the same time, the lower side of the saw blade 15 is disinfected to avoid cutting diseased tobacco plants and spreading the disease to other good tobacco plants.

[0026] In one embodiment, this application uses a saw blade 15 for cutting. To facilitate the reciprocating movement of the saw blade 15, the lower support 11 and the upper support 12 need to be designed to be compatible, so that they facilitate both the movement of the saw blade 15 and the cutting operation. Specifically, as shown... Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the lower support 11 of this application is U-shaped. The lower part of the upper U-shape has a limit switch hole 111. Saw blade grooves 112 are formed on both sides of the U-shaped opening. A sliding groove 113 is formed at the bottom of one of the saw blade grooves 112. A disinfection nozzle hole 115 is formed on the frame below the sliding groove 113. A grooved wheel hole 114 is formed on the side opposite to the disinfection nozzle hole 115 of the lower support 11. The system includes: a limit switch 16 installed in the limit switch hole 111; a disinfectant nozzle 18 installed in the disinfectant nozzle hole 115; a grooved wheel 13 mounted in the grooved wheel hole 114; a top-mounting motor 14 installed at the bottom of the grooved wheel hole 114, with its output shaft passing through the grooved wheel hole 114 and connecting to the grooved wheel 13 for transmission; and a saw blade 15 slidably mounted in the saw blade groove 112 and driven by the grooved wheel 13. The upper support 12 is U-shaped to fit the lower support 11. A crossbeam 121 is connected directly above the upper support 12. A sprout inhibitor nozzle mounting hole 122 is constructed in the middle of the crossbeam 121, and a sprout inhibitor nozzle 17 is installed in the sprout inhibitor nozzle mounting hole 122. An upper sliding groove 123, adapted to the lower sliding groove 113, is constructed on one side of the U-shaped opening of the upper support 12, and a cover plate covering the grooved wheel hole 114 is constructed on the other side. The saw blade 15 has saw blade pins 151 at both ends, which slide between the lower sliding groove 113 and the upper sliding groove 123. The side of the grooved wheel 13 has an elliptical groove 131, in which the saw blade pins 151 slide to form a crank-slider mechanism. The center of the elliptical groove 131 has a motor shaft hole 132 for mounting the motor output shaft.

[0027] Thus, in this application, the grooved wheel 13, saw blade 15, and top-attacking motor 14 constitute a crank-slider mechanism with the top-attacking motor 14 as the driving component and the saw blade 15 as the reciprocating driven component. The elliptical groove 131 within the grooved wheel 13 serves as the crank, and the saw blade pin 151 slides within the elliptical groove 131, thereby constructing a crank-slider mechanism that drives the saw blade 15 to reciprocate and cut off the top of the tobacco. The saw blade 15 slides within the saw blade groove 112 and is also positioned via the sliding groove 113, ensuring its normal reciprocating motion. The cover plate ensures the normal rotation of the grooved wheel 13 and the normal reciprocating movement of the saw blade 15. In this way, the top is cut by sawing, while the crossbeam 121 acts as a component to block the cut top. The U-shaped bracket serves to position and wrap the tobacco rod, facilitating positioning without occupying too much space and also conveniently triggering the limit switch 16. Moreover, using a sawing method will not squeeze the top of the stem or damage the tobacco plant.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sprout inhibitor pump 2 includes a pump body 21, a pump motor 22, a shaft 23, a sprout inhibitor eccentric wheel 24, and a disinfectant eccentric wheel 25; The pump body 21 has two chambers, in which a disinfectant piston 210 and a sprout inhibitor piston 212 are slidably mounted. A disinfectant spring 211 is located at the bottom of one chamber and abuts against the disinfectant piston 210, while a sprout inhibitor spring 213 is located at the bottom of the other chamber and abuts against the sprout inhibitor piston 212. A shaft 23 is mounted on the pump body 21, and a sprout inhibitor eccentric wheel 24 and a disinfectant eccentric wheel 25 are fixedly mounted on the shaft 23 and abut against the disinfectant piston 210 and the sprout inhibitor piston 212, respectively. A pump motor 22 is located on one side of the pump body 21 and connected to the shaft 23. Inlet and outlet valves are located at the bottom of each chamber of the pump body. Specifically, the inlet and outlet valves include a sprout inhibitor inlet valve 26, a sprout inhibitor outlet valve 27, a disinfectant inlet valve 28, and a disinfectant outlet valve 29. The disinfectant outlet valve 29 is connected to the disinfectant nozzle 18 through a rubber hose, and the sprout inhibitor outlet valve 27 is connected to the sprout inhibitor nozzle 17 through a rubber hose. In this way, disinfectant and sprout inhibitor can be sprayed simultaneously using a single pump.

[0029] In this application, a disinfectant piston 210 and a sprout inhibitor piston 212 are respectively installed on the two chambers. A disinfectant spring 211 and a sprout inhibitor spring 213 are installed inside the chambers. A one-way inlet valve (disinfectant inlet valve 28, sprout inhibitor inlet valve 26) and a one-way outlet valve (corresponding to disinfectant outlet valve 29 and sprout inhibitor outlet valve 27) are installed at the bottom of each chamber. The pump motor 22 is connected to the shaft 23. When working, the motor shaft 23 rotates, and the disinfectant eccentric wheel 25 and the sprout inhibitor eccentric wheel 24 are installed on the shaft above the corresponding chambers through through holes. The phases are consistent. When the shaft rotates, the eccentric wheel drives the piston downward, and then the piston moves upward under the action of the spring. When the piston moves downward, the liquid in the chamber is under pressure and flows out from the one-way discharge valve. The disinfectant discharge valve is connected to the disinfectant nozzle through a silicone tube, and the germinator discharge valve is connected to the germinator nozzle through a silicone tube. When the piston moves upward, the liquid enters the chamber through the one-way inlet valve. The germinator inlet valve is connected to the germinator storage tank through a silicone tube, and the disinfectant inlet valve is connected to the disinfectant storage tank through a hose.

[0030] In one embodiment, in order to drive the bud inhibitor pump 2 to work normally while cutting off the top of the flue-cured tobacco, the center line of the limit switch 16 and the bud inhibitor nozzle 17 are located on the same plane, and the center line of the disinfectant nozzle 18 and the plane containing the center lines of the limit switch 16 and the bud inhibitor nozzle 17 have an angle of no more than 30 degrees in the moving direction of the saw blade 15 to spray the saw blade 15.

[0031] In one embodiment, the lower bracket 11 and the upper bracket 12 are fastened with screws for easy assembly and disassembly, and the support frame 3 is an adjustable telescopic rod to facilitate the use of tobacco curing at different heights.

[0032] In this application, a person holds the support frame 3 and brings the topping and bud-suppressing machine close to the topping position of the tobacco stem. Switch 4 is pressed, and the topping motor 14 starts rotating, driving the saw blade 15 to reciprocate and cut the tobacco stem. After the tobacco stem breaks, it collides with the limit switch 16 due to elastic force. At this point, the broken end of the tobacco stem is directly below the bud-suppressing agent nozzle 17. Upon receiving a signal, the controller drives the pump motor 22 to rotate, causing the piston to move downwards, and the bud-suppressing agent nozzle 17 sprays out the bud-suppressing agent. Simultaneously, the disinfectant nozzle 18 sprays disinfectant to disinfect the saw blade 15. The controller calculates the time based on the spray volume. When the bud-suppressing agent spray volume reaches approximately 10ml, the controller notifies all motors to stop operating, completing one work cycle.
